This one is seriously way of the scale..... on the positive side! What about "seriously terrible frostbite cooler than liquid nitrogen subzero"? 8)

[TNT]

i am not much of a porsche guy, but you can't hide the history making of this car and its line

[dutchmasterflex]

Did you even have to ask?

Absolute Zero ;)

It's freezing here. :mrgreen: Let me grab myself an ice-tea

[ae86_16v]

Unless it's a Carrera GT, and a couple of other exceptions, porsches don't do it for me. However, this one isn't too bad.

Cool for me

W/O this car, there might never have been a CGT.

Definitely Sub-Zero.

EDIT: Who the hell put "Uncool"?!?!

[StanAE86]

The basic Porsche shape doesn't excite me as much as other performance cars, but you cannot deny it's pedigree. The 2.7RS is undoubtedly one of the most bad-ass cars around, still. My friend's ex-boss used to have one which was restored. Even though it wasn't even the OEM paint color, it still sold for $150,000US.

The car is definately subzero/shrink yer nutsack/pull you family jewels into your abdomen cool. I suppose if you're a chick, it's subzero/make your nipples poke way out and hurt cool...

any 911 is cool
but not SZ

Cool for me

Read my mind. Carrera GT is the only sub zero. This can barely make it to the COOL IMO.

My love
Subzero!!
Brilliant, wonderful, astonishing, breathtaking, amazing, fantastic... car
Adore it :D
Definitely -> the best

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

A genuine 911 for excelence...no assistance at all, a non confortable car, very tricky to drive, the furthest fan ever existed e invented by the human.....

[chest3r]

Subzero!!! I shouldn't say this since it's a Porsche but I'll open an exception.

I saw one of this, some weeks ago, doing some donuts and I thought it was just a replica cause the sound was nothing special. :roll: And there was another 911 with less just a few years and it the sound was great !! Anyway, the specialists say this car is fantastic and I love to see pics of it doing laps around the Ring :o

[gucom]

SubZero i mean...apart from being one of the great legends of sports cars, and its pedigree, just look at it! awesome 8)

[sentra_dude]

S.Z. 8)

SUBZERO. and take that crappy CGT off the subzero list. this car is WAY cooler than any CGT.

Why exactly is the CGT crappy :?:

[racer_f50]

worse than uncool, in my opinion. i'm no fan of current 911's, but these older ones really make me ill to look at, and from all the stories it's probably a death trap to drive :?
Hard to look cool when you die because of a car with a hideous wale-tail spoiler :lol:

FYI - This car didn't have a "Hideous Whale-tail spoiler".

then what's that growth coming off its ass in the picture? even if that's not officially one of those whale-tails, it's still not pretty.

in addition to my comments before, i have to add that the only people i see driving around in old 911's like this one look like total douches. Just the cocky middle-aged businessmen type who like to pretend they're so much better than everyone else by driving a german car.

[kach22i]

This car is SZ because you might actually get to own one someday, or at least a bad clone of one.

I also have a 2.7L in my 1977 911S, so it's getting the highest rating possible from me. :wink:

[RC45]

Sub-sub-sub-super-cool-abosolut-zero... :)

The planets are aligning and karma is smiling and the zodiac is good phase... how so? An in depth of one of the 2.7 RS prototypes is on the cards.... :)

[Skaala]

any 911 is cool
but not SZ

my thoughts exactely :P

[crayzayjay]

Anyone who thinks this car is not sub-zero does not know a thing about cars.

And the CGT being crappy... LOL!

[5vz-fe]

my thoughts exactely :P

It's ur opinion, u can even say it's uncool if u have certain unhappy experience.

To me, this is a classic, and how I picture a 911 even now. The standard for how a air-cooled flat 6 will sound.

[nthfinity]

sub Zero.

I recall some in car footage of a 911 2.7 RS running around a track that was way faster through the bends then a GT3 RS; and just losing out in the straits.... but the GT3 couldn't get away!

Amazing car!

[novass]

Sub Zero - Having the opportunity to drive a real one, the car is an absolute blast, its fast for its time and even by todays standards. Made me want a 911, an older one and a newer one.

[r2r]

Is this the car we are talking about :?:

Don't know the history or fascination that people have with this car, but it must be a hell of a good handling car for some people to call give it a subzero, because certainly don't see it in design!!


Maybe I need to study up on this car a bit before I vote. :)

[taygunho]

No doubt it is SZ

[cooperluke]

Love the 911 2.7RS, it's THE nine eleven!

:D

SZ, no doubt!

[liveaxle]

No footballer owns a 2.7RS (I hope), and Steve Mcqueen owned 2 911s, although none were RS's http://www.mcqueenonline.com/mcqueenscars.htm.
This secures the 911 2.7RS, and in fact all classic 911s, a place in the cool category. Unfortunately, the yuppies and the footballers laid their eyes on the 911 later on. Many of them ended up in the ditch.

[philip]

If your looking for an older 911 this is the one to own. Rare, fast and a thumbs up from any other Porsche owner. Unfortunately with the recent up tick in collectible cars this prices the RS at $250,000 or more. If your looking, one is for sale in Europe right now for 320K euros, it is a lightweight vs a Kumfort which are less.

This one sold at Barrett-Jackson in '05 for 95K it was imported from Japan for the auction. Really nice shape unrestored and a good solid driver with about 35,000 km.

It seems that all the classics I would like to own rocket in price faster than my income increases. The RS is already high in the sky. The 911 for me is now the S-model, either 2.2 or 2.4 litre. The latter one has 190 horsepower, only 20 less than the RS.

[fordgt84]

my rule for cool porsches is that they can only be cool provided they're old ... just my way of thinkin hihihi

carrera rs definitely a cool old porsche 8-)
